Pranks Ruins Nearly 8 Million Gallons of Water in Portland

7.8 MILLION GALLONS OF DRINKING WATER DRAINED DUE TO URINATION INCIDENT

: A Portland, Oregon reservoir holding 7.8 million gallons of drinking water had to be drained after security cameras caught a man urinating into it. Officials caught the 21-year-old not only urinating into the water, but also dropping unidentified objects into it with four other people. Even though the Mount Tabor reservoir supplies drinking water to the majority of the city, the several-day cleaning process is not expected to affect service. (UPI)
